Hello,
I'm a Short researcher.
We have a Henrietta Jackson 1 April 1800 marriage to Joshua Short in
Garrard Co., KY.
We are looking for the Jackson parents of the bride. Garrard was formed
from Madison. Madison was formed from Lincoln. The bride was of age and
the grooms father was bondsman so no family of the bride is mentioned on
the bond. Henrietta is reputed by family history to be a fist cousin of
President Andrew Jackson. Neither he nor his two brothers had
issue. This leaves his Jackson uncles which is another quandary as
researchers do not agree on the number nor the names.
Trying to solve the mystery of her relationship to President Jackson it is
my thought that the bride's father may have been in Lincoln Co when he
married before 1875 for the bride to be of age in 1800.
I have asked a Lincoln Co lookup volunteer for a marriage record limited to
two names. I asked for Joshua and Samuel two names I thought likely as
they appear in the Garrard 1810 census.
I noticed in the index of wills a will for Joseph Jackson and saw no lookup
volunteers for wills. How would I go about getting a copy or extract of
the will for Joseph Jackson Bk B, Pg 188, 10 Oct 1797.
Thank you,
